Common Questions and Answers about Flonase for ear pressure

I am on a Halter monitor for a 3 week study for atrial fib and pvc's are what have shown up so far. I have had a double ear problem for about a month leaving my ears feeling full, stuffy and painful. 2 series of ear drops not helping. Now my internist has prescribed Flonase. Won't this increase or create rhythm issues for me? What could I use to do no harm but relive my complaints. Thanks.

The increasing pressure in the ears - sometimes it feels like it unclogs for awhile then builds back up - I even get pressure and tingling in the nose and sinus area for over a month.
I get the same advice about it being an Eustachian tube dysfunction and try to be patient as it will likely resolve itself. Meanwhile we're suffering needlessly. I've been to the ENT twice - all he gave me was a steroid dose pack and Flonase nasal spray - neither of which has worked.

Since June/July 09 I have had constant pressure in my left ear. It doesn't seem to really be affecting my hearing. I have had my ears cleaned (no wax) tried Flonase, Anefrin, Sudafed, every other nasal decongestant and am currently on Augmentin & Nasonex. My ear feels like it has water in it and sometimes make odd noises when I lay on my right side and swallow (sounds like fizzing). I seem to remember having this before but only for a couple days or so but this lasted months.

I've had earpressure, not really pain going on about 7 months now. Back when it started, I went to an urgent care center (I was looking for a new primary care doctor at the time) and the doctor there told me it was Eustacian Tube Dysfunction. He told me to take Claritin D and he prescribed Flonase. I started taking/using both, and the pressure eased up a little bit, but it was still there. At that time, I was also experiencing some sinus pressure. That seems to have lessened.

I have been suffering from earpressure/headaches/nasea since flying while having a head cold for the last 3months. Been to plenty of docs and ENT's who diagnosis is a dysfunctional eustacheun tubes and have prescrbed antibiotics, decongestives, Flonase steriod nose spray, and decongestive pills without any help. Anyone out there have a similar experience and possibly a cure?

5 weeks ago I had an all day coughing fit and with each cough felt more pressure building up in my right ear. Blowing my nose every 2 minutes of the day, pressure started in the left ear. One week went by, I finally went to the Dr. Diagnosed with a Sinus Infection, he gave me a round of antibiotics, 2 different RX nasal sprays, and hydrocodone cough syrup. While my sinus and chest congestion has subsided, the pressure in my ears have not.

symptoms, along with some jaw soreness and soreness to pressure/touch inside the ear canal (outer canal only...not going into the ear canal) I am thinking that I only need to give it a few more days for everything to clear up, but am looking for any other advice or things I should be watching for? Thank you. Also, if the nasonex has been working, should I expect flonase to be as effective (it is quite a bit less expensive in generic.

Flonase is for allergies so it should help but if it continues I would go get tested for allergies. It only takes a few hours and most of the time you'll know what you are allergic to right then and there. If its your cat then, they'll give you whatever medication to help and try to keep your cat away from where you sleep in the meantime. I have a dog and I know that's hard but that is supposed to be helpful.
Good luck!

Hi,
I'm looking for advice/help.
Symptoms:
-constant, low humming tinnitus in left ear
-off/on ear pressure, mostly in left ear
-have had hearing test, ear drum "responsiveness" (?) test, etc, everything's fine, no buildup of earwax
This all started about a year ago. I had a weird hum/vibration sound in left ear (thought some weird muscle was spazzing).

He looked in my ear and said there was a slight bulge behind my eardrum and prescribed Flonasefor it. This was yesterday. I feel it may be a bit better but not where i want it to be after five days of taking pills and one day of Flonase.
I saw all the talk of tumors and such and that scared me too. I was wondering why my ear might be clogged so long and if it should have taken this long for pills to have an effect.

I may highlight that i had my audiometery done and nothing abnormal was observed apart from that the pressure in my left ear( the ear which has pain) is slightly changed. HEnce consequently the doctor gave me some nasal spray in order to fix the cited pressure. the pain is a bit better but it isnt going for good. I am very very worried as music is my passion and it is very difficult for me not to sing or listen to music for even one day.

I then visited an ENT who gave me some Nasocort, and allergy medicine, and that isn't working either. Sudafed is no match for this pressure, and no painkillers (tylenol, alieve, etc..) have given me any relief.
I'm currently taking 1 claritin at night, and a puff of flonase and 1 Zyrtech D tablet in the morning: these aren't working.

Has anybody had the following symptoms: ear popping when I swallow for over a month now which my ENT says is Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Recently there is an increased pressure in my ears extending back to under my ears, which I take to be sinus trouble. Could these cause my tinnitus to worsen? I've had mild ringing in my ears for a long time due to noise damage. All these symptoms occurred after a concert. Shouldn't I be able to enjoy some live music?

I can actually feel it and push it around with my finger of the outer part of my ear. I was put on Flonasefor 2 weeks and it went away. Was fine for 2 months then 2 weeks ago started to get off balance like i just came off of a boat. I had a Mri of my Iac's(internal auditory canal) and they said I had a vascular loop in there.(the artery is pressing on a nerve that controls balance and hearing. They say that can give you tinnitus but mine is more of a squishy feeling when I touch it.

They gave me a hearing test and my hearing is fine. So he thinks my inner ear is clogged so he prescribes me flonase and to snort salt water and baking soda to unclog it. So i've been doing that and it seems to have helped out the fullness in my ears a little bit but i'm still getting dizzy with the pressure. I went to a chiropractor last week just to see if it was my neck or back that was causing this and got xrays. I go back later this week to see the results.

I can spark it off by yawning hard or if i drink beer so im assuming its raised blood pressure that causes a muscle spasm in the ear. I can feel it like most others on here like a pressure and it seems to be getting louder. The thumping can last from anywhere from a couple of minutes to about 12 hours. I am keeping a diary of it now and have another appointment with the ENT in 6 months, hopefully i will get something sorted, fingers crossed.

i have been suffering from severe inner ear pain for almost two years now... it took forever for me to finally see a dr. bc the pain would be off and on. Eventually I went to a dr. and she told me it was a sinus problem or a dysfunctional eustatian tube... she gave me nose spray which kind of helped but not really, just made me feel weird. I just went to a specialist who said there could be something wrong with the lymph nodes or even the bone... I have to go and have a CT scan this monday.

I have heard that this can take a while to clear up.
By the way, my earpressure was normal. However, earpressure can be normal but you can still have build up in the middle ear. If you can pop your ears (which I can crunch and pop them at ANY time) your tests will read normal. You definitely still have stuff in your tubes, and therefor your ears...causing the ringing.
I know it will pass. I have no heariing loss either. Very strange yet similar experiences.

Hello:
I have had a ongoing problem with severe earpressure in both ears for several years.
The best way I can explain it is as follows.
The pressure feels like when you are at a very high elevation only it is much more intense. I have tried clearing it by popping my ears but it doesn't let up at all.
I went to my primary care doctor and she said it might be allergies and gave me a sample of flonase. This did nothing to help the condition. She said my ears were not infected.

she thought the dizziness was a result of congestion putting pressure on my skull and inner and middle ear. she listened to my heartbeat and apparantly heard nothing unusual because she didnt bring it up. my blood pressure was okay. i didnt have a temperature. she prescribed me claritin, flonase, and singulair. they help the symptoms a bit but i still get those spooky dizzy spells, sometimes even waking up in the middle of the night to them. i also still get a lot of crackling in my ear.

Occasional flare ups with aches in right side of groin area.
For the past year each time I bend down to tie shoes I feel pressure my head. Past three months have had rushing sound in my left ear main when lying down to sleep. Also noticed when I shower that when washing/grazing my inner thighs I felt tenderness or slight pain but only in this fashion. No other pains when sitting, walking, etc. Additionally, recent drainage and dry voice side effects with Flonase.

For about a year and a half my right ear has felt plugged and like there was pressure in it and can't hear that well out of it, I tried a long time ago olive oil, and today I tried ear wax removal and none of them worked. Can someone please tell me what's wrong with my ear?

Moved to Chicago several years ago from Phoenix so the doctor suggested that I may be suffering from allergies as a result. Blood test confirmed grass allergy. Have been using Flonase (SP?) for about 1 month coupled with nasal rinsing system but still have the ringing and drainage. Should I be worried about another culprit besides allergies causing these awful symptoms?? In addition, is there any other over-the-counter meds that may be of use. Thank you.

over this period of time but this was not caught until he had a seizure at home so you should see your Dr. for test NOW and not wait for something more serious to develope. He had some of the same feelings you report. He became surley in his personality, had teriffic headaches , pain in the side & back of the head ( Tumor was inbetween frontal lobes and benign ) and BP went up so high he almost had a stroke. Also when he walked there was a clicking sound in his head.

Myringotomy, where a tiny slit is made in the eardrum to aspirate any middle ear fluid and to allow temporary ventilation into the middle ear space. Pressure Equalization Tube, PET, where a tiny plastic or metal tube, is introduced into myringotomy to keep the portal open. Please discuss this with your doctor when you meet him.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I started getting pressure on the left side of my head by the temple, ear and cheek. The pressure came mostly at night and sometimes in the mornings. My doctor thought it was just left over sinuses. I was on a steroid pack for two weeks. The first week helped but the second did not. Following this I scheduled a neurologist appointment. Right before I was about to go I began getting a toothache. I went to the dentist, told him about my tooth and about my headaches.

For about a year now, I have suffered with earpressure in the right ear only. It started one day when I had the flu and suddenly, in the middle of the night, I woke up and could barely hear out of my right ear. I went to the hospital and they gave me a shot. I was fine for a few hours, but eventually had to go to an ENT. Nothing major was discovered and they chalked it up to the flu. In July of this year, I began having constant pain on the right side of my throat.

Prior to her visit she started feeling some pressure building causing increasing pain. She started praying, and then her ear popped. The pressure decreased, the pain subsided, and the volume of her sound machine to help her sleep increased. The neurologist concluded that she was experiencing headaches due to the barometric pressure change. If you recall, the ENT completely dismissed that notion.
